i even have custom kernel ready with some decent overclock 1.8Ghz... may be we can try even 2ghz but that might be overkill but i guess we cna keep the phone in water if it gets too hot!!! ... i wish i had the device working, testing on it would be so much faster

I was waiting for this some time
I just knew you would do it, thanks
dear doomlord thanks for your works, do this kernel work for users with 0% problem?
This Kernel works on IceLite AOSP. Maybe the answer is NO because this is an AOSP ROM. Sorry I´m confused about some things yet.
may be a good news...
my old kernel works (with updated ramdisk) on this new ICS-Beta:
but there are HEAVY graphics glitches...
i dont think its really fully usable... i might try a few things to clear these GFX glitches but i guess we will have to wait for SE/Sony devs to release kernel sources
once i have latest sources i can patch up my kernel sources to correctly work on it...

nope this is not a pure custom kernel... its basically stock kernel with recovery, etc...
may be u can get the 0% battery module (.ko file) from Z's ROM and use it
ok i have found the required files for making this kernel compatible with 0% battery issue users (thanks to zdzihu for the "fake_battery" service )... if anyone wants i can update the kernel to support 0% battery issue users...

Back to topic, does the 344 (SGP312) version work with SGP311 ? I could try this myself but if anyone already tried can chime in.

You said in the other topic to have a .307 kernel with recovery! But since you already release this can i flash the kernel inside with fastboot after unlocking my bootloader and enter directly to recovery and flash the Rom?
Can I do this starting from an old .350 Rom with root and them unlocking the bootloader so I could flash your kernel?
Sorry but I never unlock a bootloader and flashed any custom kernel...It's my first Xperia phone!
Thanks
Quick question. Can we use your custom v8 kernel with this?
And thank you for all your effort with kernel and this leak.
Thank you.
Awesome. I'm going to hold off though until someone releases a TWRP/dual recovery version or kernel as I can't stand CWM
Reserved for feedback: Roughly a half hour
UPDATE:
Just flashed a few minutes ago and everything seems fine so far.
Camera launches very quickly from lock screen. Still slight delay launching from app drawer.
ROM seems extremely smooth thus far, no graphical glitches etc.
Too soon for Wi-Fi or battery life.
Quick Settings is nice, (up to 10 customisable panels similar to Niobac's mod)
Thanks Doom
Wow great Work DooM Thanks a lot!!!
i know you don't like stupid questions but there is one very important Thing...
is it possible with 4.2.2 to move additional app data (/internalSD/Android/data and /internalSD/Android/odd) to external SD Card??? this is the only major issue to be restricted to the limited 12GB internal Memory for ALL Application data...
It would be awesome if it is movable now without root

99,9% sure you will get bootloop. Since you can not flash the kernel you will be trying to boot 4.3 with a 4.1 kernel. But hey, you can always try if you really want to

Thanks for this, DooMLoRD! Although I'm on AOSP-based ROMS since day one I got my phone, it's nice to see things like this.
I have a question: I saw in the screenshot that there's a new baseband version in the 4.3 ROM. Is it possible to flash only the baseband in order to update mine?
I saw that this is a flashable .zip. Maybe if I flash this zip over my OmniROM build and then restore a recent TWRP backup I have?
